find three positive consecutive odd integers such that the square of the smallest is 9 more than the sum of the other two
With the fist being F, that's SIMPLY F2
= F + 2 + F + 4 + 9 , which forms the following quadratic equation: F2 - 2F - 15 = 0, and the first ODD INTEGER, 5.
Now, the others are easy to decipher.
